Four parents of pupils enrolled at the Progressive Primary and Preparatory School have filed requests to have their son or daughter evaluated by the school psychologist. The type of behavior that has each parent concerned is very different. Which parent’s concern is likely to be given the lowest priority for a consultation about possible therapy?
Explanation
Answer: D - According to the latest guidelines issued by the American Psychological Association, gay, lesbian, or bisexual preferences should be regarded as a normal variant of human sexuality and not as any manifestation of mental illness. A gay, lesbian, or bisexual individual who is happy, well-adjusted, and functioning well in all areas of everyday life does not need to see a psychologist.
